Guinevere

Guinevere (484-539) was Queen of the Britons as the wife of King Arthur.

Biography
Guinevere was born in 484, the daughter of Leodegrance, and she was married to the King of the Britons, King Arthur. Arthur inherited her father's Round Table, where he sat his chief knights and made them swear an oath of chivalry. Arthur's half-sister and former lover, the fairy Morgan le Fay, enchanted Arthur's chief knight Lancelot into becoming an adulterer romantically interested in Guinevere. Lancelot later saved her from Maleagant, who had abducted her, and he then had an affair with Guinevere. Arthur's incestuous son Mordred revealed the affair, and Arthur ordered Guinevere to be burned at the stake. However, Lancelot killed the guards and rescued Guinevere, leading to war with King Arthur. After Arthur's death at the Battle of Camlan in 537, Guinevere withdrew to a convent as penance for her infidelity, and she refused to run away with (or even kiss) Lancelot, dying two years later.
